The former Napoli Coach is still on the Inter payroll after he was sacked last year.

His agent confirmed he’s been spending several weeks in England to learn the language and watch Premier League games.

He had been linked with vacant benches at Sunderland and Liverpool, who parted company with Dick Advocaat and Brendan Rodgers this weekend.

The former Napoli Coach is still on the Inter payroll after he was sacked last year.

His agent confirmed he’s been spending several weeks in England to learn the language and watch Premier League games.

He had been linked with vacant benches at Sunderland and Liverpool, who parted company with Dick Advocaat and Brendan Rodgers this weekend.

According to Calciomercato.com, Mazzarri is now back in Italy because he decided against taking the Sunderland job.

He was reportedly unimpressed with the Black Cats and wanted a club more likely to survive in the Premier League.

It is also noted that he was never in contact with Liverpool, who are in negotiations with Jurgen Klopp.
